Career Services continues to offer one-on-one career counseling and job search coaching FREE to currently enrolled students and alumni with an Oakton awarded degree or certificate.

All others will be charged $45 per session to meet individually with a Career Counselor. Career Services will waive the fee for the initial visit, enabling the person to determine if our services are a good fit for their needs before making a monetary commitment.

Job search workshops; our online job board; computer assisted career guidance and information system software; physical resources in Career Services on the Des Plaines Campus including computers, printer, fax machine and telephone for career exploration and job search activities will remain FREE for EVERYONE.

Career counselors are seen by appointment.
